DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Vick's Aster Book for Florists, 1923 We consider this the finest mid-season erect Aster in cultivation. The flowers are exquisite in form, and the plants equal in height those of the late upright Asters. Grown on our farm, under ordinary field conditions, the flowers average four to five inches in diameter. Gradually We have developed a new strain in this class in which all the petals Of the Opening flower fold gracefully toward the center like enormous peonies, while the outer surface of the petals shows a glow or sheen characteristic of some Of our newest Asters like Heart Of France. In mature flowers, the outer rows of petals are straight, but the center is completely covered by a mass Of curved and twisted petals regularly arranged in a sort of curl or whorl. The broad petals are slightly folded lengthwise, making them appear rather narrow. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
